      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      A meta riff on detective yarns, Magpie Murders is clever and gentle fun that gets a big lift from Lesley Manville and Tim McMullan's delightful performances.

      Hugo Rifkind Times (UK) ... Cosy but never tired. Apr 7, 2023 Full Review Chris Bennion Daily Telegraph (UK) Submit yourself to all of the tongue-in-cheek genre tomfoolery, however, and it’s a terrific series with enough in-jokes to keep any armchair detective happy... Rated: 4/5 Apr 3, 2023 Full Review Dan Einav Financial Times The Russian doll narrative structure can be unwieldy but the series is anchored by Manville’s brilliant performance, which feels organic despite the various plot contrivances... Rated: 4/5 Mar 31, 2023 Full Review Adam Sweeting The Arts Desk What gives Magpie Murders its unique allure is its mischievous double time scheme. Rated: 5/5 Apr 10, 2023 Full Review Matt Roush TV Insider Horowitz plays with convention beautifully... Oct 20, 2022 Full Review Alexis Gunderson Paste Magazine I am happy to say that it is extremely good. Stars Lesley Manville, Conleth Hill, and Tim McMullan are compelling.

      jill l Nearly everything written by Horowitz is unique and engaging. Magpie Murders has a great cast and is fascinating from beginning to end. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/26/23 Full Review Mary G Very watchable and enjoyable! Great story lines and acting! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/29/23 Full Review Ethan T I enjoyed the book so much that the series had a difficult job from the outset. Overall, I liked the performances (Lesley Manville is oddly both exactly and not at all how I imagined Susan -- she nails the character even if I always thought of Susan as a woman in her forties, Tim McMullan makes a good Pund). I just felt that the way things fell on the screen were more predictable. Then again, I did know the ending. I disliked the attempts to have interaction between Susan and Atticus. The way that Andreas's role in the mystery was altered also rubbed me the wrong way. I can understand the need to switch it up from the book-within-a-book that I so enjoyed, but I prefer the Nocturnal Animals approach of big slices to this hokey-pokey in-out business. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/23/23 Full Review Judy D Watched it all in one sitting. loved it! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/19/23 Full Review Christopher E Quite good!!!! The ending was great, and overall I really enjoyed it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/18/23 Full Review Loch N Excellent show and well delivered. Congratulations!
